Riparian Rights.

.9ues!i0u-Along streams in the Un'ted
States to whom does the land lying he'
tween high and low water mark belong,
and what rights have the public therein:
Axs:vey.--Thc question is decided gen.
orally by the principle Of common 'aw'
which makes all arms OF the sea and navi'
gable rivers public property, and gives 10
the owner Of land on an unnasigab'e
stream the ownership Of the bed Of the
river 70 its center line. According to com.
mon law Interpretation all rivers where
the tide did no, ebb and flow were unnavi.
gable. The grant OF piece Of land bound
ed by river will carry the exclusive right
and title Of tho grantee to the middle ot the
river, unlesss II is expressly stipulated that
the land conveyed extends only !" the
margin or lower mark Of the stream. liza
person owns the land on both sides of a
stream. lie also owns the entire stream as
far rs his land extends. Where the river,
though not navigable In the common law
sense, yet can bc used for the passage OF
boats or raGs, the right of the owner
Of the land must give way to the
public convenience, and the passage Of
craft cannot be obs,ructed without laying
the ~ner open tc complaint for inserfer.
ing with public rights. The owners, how.
ever, hold land under such streams subject
to the public right Of passage over II.
Rivers in which the tide flows, or lakes,
are public property; the land beneath them
belongs to the State, and grants Of land ON
them only extend to the low water margin
Of the stream. The State may, however,
make a grant Of the bed OF such bodies Of
water to those living on the adjoining
shore. The courts have decided that the
common law definition of a ,larigablc
stream does not apply to the large rivers
Of the United States which have no
tides. These arc declared to be properly
navigable, and The boundaries Of adjlccn,
lands extend only to low water mark If

THE "VESTIBULE TRAIN. p"

The latest novelty in railroad travelling,
known as the "vestibule train" passed
through this city on the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railway last Thurs
day morning, on its return from St. Paul
to Chicago. The train consisted of three
sleepers, named America" France"
and England" adining car, and "com-
bination" car-the latter divided off into
a smoking room, bouffe, barber shop and
bath room. The cars are joined some
thing on the principle of an ACCORDION
and tie usual platform is abandoned, the
train thus being virtually continuous
from the first to the last car, giving adj
ditional comfort to passengers. 1t is a
Pullman production. The vestibule
train" runs from Chicago to New York
via the Pittsburgh & Fort Wayne route.

THE BRIDGE MATTER.

1t may be puzzling to some who read
the proceedings of the Board of Street
Commissioners to know why it is that a
resolution Or proposition receiving four
votes out of seven, being majority, does
not pass. The reason for it is this: An
amendment to our city charter provides
that it requires five votes out of seven to
to carry measure, consequently, three
of the Board standing out on a question
make a powerful minority. Herein lies
trouble ahead arising out Of the building
of the iron bridge at Second street. Three
of the commissioners can defeat any ap-
preparation for the payment of this bridge,
and, consequently their kicking" is sur
rounded with great potency. In connec
ton with this bridge matter two questions
will have to be settled, one is, can the
present board annul and render void a
contract made by the preceding board
and the other one is, if the contract en-
tered into with the city by Keeper g.
Rddell is not in accordance with the city
charter must the said firm stand the con-
sequences?

INCORPORATED.

The Phoenix Volunteer Fire company
No. 2 and Benevolent association, was
incorporated under the laws of the state
May 6, 1887. The first meeting under
the new articles of association will be held
Wednesday, May Is. The association
provides for the relief of its members and
the rendering of assistance to them when
out of employment. A regular weekly
stipend is paid to sick members out of
the proceeds of the sprinkling fund and
other sources. 1t is intended to incr ease
the sick benefit fund as the resources OF
the association become larger, and in other
respects the interests of the members will
be looked after. 1t will be seen by this &C
ton that the Phoenix Fire company is in
first-class condition and worthy the con-
sideration of our citizens. Although aim
ing to become as independent of the care
of the city as possible, yet the city can
never expect to be entirely freed from
certain obligations to this volunteer asso-
citation, and therefore it is due the Phoe-
nix company, that its maintenance and
support as an organization standing ready
as it is at all times to serve the city
should be promptly and freely rendered.

THE AUCTION Law.

The auction law passed by the last
